Where in Britain is ASD most and least common

Arran

Does the NAS have any information about which parts of Britain (at least down to local authority level) have the highest and lowest proportions of people with ASD?

I would be very suprised if people with ASD are evenly spread throughout Britain. It's possible that there could be concentrated pockets of people with ASD in a few towns and areas where it is extremely uncommon.

  • I have been thinking about how demographically extreme areas vary from the national average. Examples include:

    1. Deep rural areas - Mid Wales, Highlands of Scotland, Lincolnshire.

    2. Economically depressed urban areas with an almost exclusively white British population - South Tyneside, Knowsley, Hull.

    3. Inner London boroughs - Hackney, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets.

    4. New towns - Basildon, Crawley, Telford.

    5. Provincial cities with large ethnic and immigrant populations - Bradford, Leicester.

    6. Areas where a higher than average proportion of people work in STEM and computing careers - Cambridge, Reading.
